back in 1995(last time that i used seagate) i had 2 conner 420MB drives
and 1 seagate 540 (and now they are the same company *shudder*) fail
within
3 months of using them because of the powersaving auto spindown. ever
since
i have not used that feature unless its on a laptop. and i've only had
1 drive die since(maxtor) in 1998 ..

use vmware..win4lin or something.. i use vmware and it works good. needs
a lot
of ram.. but with 256MB sticks going for under $95 these days ...doesn't
hurt to get 512MB :)

ive been using vmware since the very earliest betas..works great on 
win9x/nt/2k and freebsd4 slackware/debian/redhat/corel/caldera even
solaris 7 x86. rock solid program, never had it crash on me.

doesn't work for games and stuff..but should be fine for dreamweaver if
thats
what you wanna use.....
